1 Great Technique To Stop Biting Nails

Modern scientists claim that the time frame between an impulse and action is less than half a second

. This means that from the time the urge to bite your fingernails arrives and the time that you bite your nails, it only takes a tiny bit of time. So, unless you are able to increase this gap, you are not in control of your actions.

With awareness on the other side, you get to decide which path you want to go down. Do you want to go the path of long, beautiful fingernails or the same old road? You then have the opportunity to intervene and take a few seconds to decide what exactly you want to do. It's similar to pressing the pause button on the television, you can then take a conscious decision about what to do.

By this time, you are probably asking whether there is a practical way to accomplish this.

And the answer is yes. By asking others to remind you when they see you biting your fingernails, they can help you become more conscious of your actions. However, you need to be careful because many attempts to get others to help us backfire. Most nail biters can remember their friends or parents yelling at them or even smacking their hands. Rarely are these kinds of attempts helpful, and frequently the biter simply continues the session a few minutes later in public. However, this doesn't mean that this approach cannot be helpful. In fact, when done properly, this technique can be highly effective.

So her are a few guidelines you can stick to in order to stop biting nails permanently.

1. You should pick someone who is willing to keep things confidential. That way you will avoid destructive dynamics and additional pressure which could spark another nail biting session.

2. Pick someone that spends a good amount of time with you on a regular basis. This will ensure that the effort is worthwhile.

3. Select a specific reminder. This could possibly be a cough, a look down at the fingernails or a few short words as "Remember what we agreed on?"

4. The person should give you the signal whenever they see you engaged in the habit and let you decide whether to halt or to continue.

Keep in mind that this technique should be used as a crutch in the beginning stages. Don't worry you won't need such reminders forever, just long enough until your fingernails have fully grown out and you have developed some good defense mechanisms against relapsing.

By using this simple tip, you will be one step closer to your goal of long, elegant fingernails.
